no no.  
 50 light years. it would take 5 years. nvm!

 50 years.

Light year = the distance that light travels in one year. Therefore, 50 of them would be the distance that light travels in 50 years. Traveling at that SAME speed, it would take 50 years.


It would probably take us a few million years.

If that's the planet in question, hell no.
Too hot, according to beliefs. The atmosphere is way too thin, so we'd deplete it in a heart beat. It's 'year' lasts 10 days, so we would get way too thrown off.

Again, no.
But, thanks for posting the link, it's interesting.

The new one in the news lately is 120 TRILLION (120,000,000,000,000) miles from here.  Quite a walk considering our planet is only like 27,000 or so miles around.

"It's 20 light-years [away]. We can go there." (Sasselov did not make it clear just how we'd make that 120 trillion mile trip when it still takes us eight months to cover the 35 million miles to Mars.)

120 trillion is quite a number.  It's the number seconds in about 4 million years.  It's also the number of fine grains of sand in about 1,000 five gallon buckets.

From what I understand, we don't know if there's even any water there.  All we know is it's size, mass, temperatures, etc.  If there it water there, however, it would be liquid.  We haven't even seen the actual planet.  We've just made calculations based on this planet's sun.

I love how we're always making assumptions about life needing water.  For all we know, there's whole thriving ecosystems living in vaporized uranium clouds on the edges of black hole event horizons.

Yes, I've always thought the same thing.  Considering there's bacteria thriving miles beneath the earth without water that can basically eat rocks.  They could be dropped off on Venus and possibly survive.

Water is fundamental to life on Earth, but maybe somewhere, there's something else fundamental to all life.  There could be somebody out there,, looking at earth saying, "Nope, there's only water there.  Not enough methane and sulfur.  I'd better keep looking."
